My bad for being critical I guess.
loose vs lose, their vs there vs they're, your vs you're.. I mean, we've only been speaking and writing english for 18 to 30+ yrs in most cases here, I guess I can see where people can get these confused all the time.
As far as your exhaust is concered, if you like quiet and don't want to LOSE (much) hp, I recommend high flow cats (only going to take about 5 peak hp) and a chambered exhaust (about another 5-7 hp). You're going to give up flow to deaden the sound, you can't have the best of both worlds.

SLP DD, throw an electronic cutout on there, in the I-pipe, or just before the muffler. Then you can have it quiet when you want it, and throw the switch & gain sound & power. Good luck.

a local speed shop recommended if i wanted a quiet (normal driving ) yet high performance wide open muffler / catback the edelbrock rpm . i looked inside before it was installed and it has 3 straight threw aprox 1 inch tubes/holes going through a normal size muffler. its louder than stock but in no way offensive even with long tube headers and jethot cats. summit racing had it for aprox $290. i got it on sale for $240. good luck with your choice. ps i'm 40 and not looking to catch everyones attention. i just want to beat the average vet or stang or porchse!
